Update on August 3rd, 2006
Once again, work has kept me busy. I was in Washington, DC Monday through Wednesday this week on a project. Boy was it hot in D.C. While 90 in Tampa right now, the heat and humidity in D.C. was stiffling.

This may most likely be the last update about Alberto. It rained some during the night, but not enough to even have to pump water from the pool. I did hear some gusty wind, but nothing major. The sun was out this morning when I got up.

Read moreAnother "Storm" Over Tampa

I can’t tell if she wants more of it or less, but having seen her ass in a pair of pants…I’m hoping less. In keeping with her past MO, she sprung this on the other Commissioners without warning.

According to a report in the Tampa Tribune, a man suspected of stealing four Salvation Army Kettles (and trying to steal a couple others), may be the dead driver of a stolen Buick found overturned in four feet of brackish water in West Tampa.
